Best Part of September For Gold Coast Visit

I am going to Gold Coast in September. Which date is better early, mid or late September?

Annie's Answer

Great question about when to visit Gold Coast during September.

There are two things to consider: weather and school holidays.

September is the first month of Spring on the Gold Coast and it starts to warm up. Obviously the later in the month the warmer the weather.

Secondly, school holidays can affect visits to Gold Coast during September because Queensland school holidays start usually in the last week of September and run into October.

School holidays affect the cost of accommodation, with the best accommodation also often booking out early, but it is usually a peak time and the cost of accommodation is generally higher than other times.

Also, during school holidays, the Gold Coast tends to be busier with more visitors. Theme parks and attractions are often busier, queues for rides longer etc.

In my opinion, if you can travel outside of school holidays, then that is better. However, in general September is a great month to visit the Gold Coast!

PS:: If you are looking to save time and money on your theme park entry tickets, it is worth while buying them ahead of time as then you can join the Pre-Paid queue and present your vouchers. Here are the latest deals for Gold Coast theme parks.
